high enough. You're not the high Bidder until you've been notified by email that
you are. All Auctions are conducted in Pacific Time.

Our Assessment: For more information on this rifle, please see: “http://www.tcarms.com/firearms/mzTraditional.php”. This is a great rifle for anyone who doesn’t like cartridge guns - Thompson Center makes muzzleloaders of the highest quality and reliability that you will find. With the .50 caliber bore, you can hunt with deer with it, and if your state has a special muzzleloader season, you get your shot at the big bucks before the cartridge shooters. The double set triggers can be set up as light as you like – so no excuses for pulled shots. This rifle is also great for those Revolutionary War re-enactments.
